<p>In episode two of their ongoing series on The Great Recession, the Shuffle Bois turn to the folks who profited from the collapse of the housing market, as described and immortalized in Michael Lewis&#39; book &quot;The Big Short&quot; and its 2015 film adaptation. After describing the major characters of this story, they then turn to a plot summary of the film, peppering in some digressions on 2000s culture and the nature of sub prime lending companies. Then, as always, they turn to their themes and big ideas, including the enrichment of the contemptible and the noxious social effects of Ayn Rand&#39;s objectivist philosophy.</p><p>Check out our website to search for episodes at: <a href="http://remembershuffle.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠remembershuffle.com⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/RememberShuffle" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠<strong>Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter⁠⁠⁠</strong>⁠⁠⁠</a><strong> </strong>And on Instagram<a href="https://www.instagram.com/remembershufflepod/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@RememberShufflePod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> to interact with the show between episodes.
